Kendra Stanley-Mills | Muskegon ChronicleAllen Saber Wicks, 34, was found dead in his upstairs apartment by police Wednesday evening at 1848 Franklin, left. His death is being investigated as a homicide.

A suspect hadn't been identified nor had a weapon been recovered by late Thursday, police said. A motive wasn't clear as of early Thursday, police had said.

The body of Wicks, 34, was found around 7 p.m. Wednesday in his apartment, and authorities have been working on the case ever since, said Muskegon Police Patrol Captain Mark Lewis.

“We're looking at all leads,” Lewis said. “We've been working on it all night.”

Authorities working on the case finally cleared the Franklin Street scene around 4:30 a.m. Thursday. Michigan State Police officials and the Muskegon County Prosecutor's Office are assisting with the case.

Lewis said suicide was immediately ruled out as a possibility. The gunshot wound was the result of a homicide, he said.

Other tenants of 1848 Franklin said they hadn't heard the sound of a gunshot at any point on Wednesday. It wasn't clear when the fatal shooting actually occurred.

Lewis said authorities will release new information to the media as it becomes available.
